My stove shut down on me last night and now won't come out of the ignition sequence. Igniter and air pump run but won't stop and distribution fan won't run even when stove temp gets close to 300 degrees. I tried a new esp thinking it's not reading the exhaust temp but get the same results. Going from auto to manual mode doesn't work either, even with a full hot burn pot it won't feed more pellets in. I have a surge protector but we had some wicked thunder (didn't see the lightning but you can't have one without the other right?) last night. Please tell me there's something I'm missing and my boards not cooked again.
Here's where I'm at - all motors work in test mode, status light on, stove was cleaned last weekend, auto room temp mode. In manual mode combustion blower will only run for a short while before shuting off hence not thinking there is any fire.
 
Vac switch is fine, if I open the door during it's now perpetual start up mode the pellet feed stops and igniter goes off. I'm beginning to get a cramp in my billfold;sick
 
Sorry got the impression auger wasn't feeding either.About the only thing to try is turning the pots back and forth a bunch of times,or spray clean them.
 
yup, did the pot thing, I even have new ones to replace them. But they all seem to function smoothly thru the whole sweep. Thanks for the input.
I've got an old board to put in and try the auto ignite is out of it but if it works on manual it's board time again..... and a new and better surge protector.
